Ravens and Chimes are on tour.

This band (Ravens and Chimes) is a cut above.. like WAY above anything out there. They're very tight live onstage when there is some co-operation with the venue and when there is room for the six of them onstage. They are as entertaining a bunch of lanky nerds as you could find rummaging thru homework and porno tossed out at a punk club. These mates are pumping out the best and most layered music and lyrics I have heard since Bowie humped Mickie (I hope I have that the right way up). If you haven't heard them yet, don't feel too guilty, they are still flying under the radar... so search for them! .. and get a bodyfull of their sounds. They go on tour to play out in about ten northern cities, starting off in Montreal June 7th at Casa del Popolo and then Toronto for the 10th at the Horshoe Tavern. After that, they are slated for L.A.at Spaceland on 6/16 and San Francisco at Cafe du Nord on the 17th. I hear also that Portland is on their schedule for the 19th @Holocene and then Vancouver for the Commodore Ballroom on the20th. They will be closing the tour in Winnipeg on the 28th and I they say that some other venues along the route are in negotiation. Check 'em out if you be lucky
